Yes, that magazine cover exists in a vacuum and does not resemble any overtly xenophobic/racist imagery at all.

I can't believe you are asking this question. Were you in a coma during Hurricane Katrina? Or when twitter lost it's fucking mind when the adorable Rue from the Hunger Games turned out to be OMG A BLACK GIRL? Or during the media coverage of Trayvon Martin's death? Or like two days ago when a black woman was SHOT IN…

Most people just aren't racist anymore, and the ones who are don't usually matter because they generally have about 3 teeth and a 2nd grade education and live in states that end in "ississippi".

Yes, because all those people who fought against civil rights, for womens right to vote and control our own bodies just sat back and did nothing...

No, that's not how racism works - ignoring people only makes them think that it's appropriate to voice those opinions and that no one cares. If you say nothing, make no mention that this is unacceptable behavior, then the racism continues. Ignoring racism is super helpful to white people - it means they get to go on…

Stupidity left unchallenged has an unfortunate tendency to propagate.

I remember it being loads of fun!! Here's a pic of me and the flower boy, sans cowboy hat:

No no no no, this looks like Kate Gosselin's old haircut. A different short hair-do? Yes. This particular one? Nope.

1.) "My view is that homosexual acts, not homosexuality, but homosexual acts are wrong." Can we fucking stop with this total bullshit "hate the sin, not the sinner" mentality? Gay teens and people aren't getting the shit beaten out of them, mercilessly teased, ostracized, harassed or denied basic civil rights b/c…

I still can't really wrap my head around the fact that men aren't expected to be able to control themselves around a skirt and yet it's women who shouldn't be trusted with nuclear codes because of periods.

The mother of one football player later asked me, “If we were such terrible, football-obsessed people, why would we have clapped?”

I take issue with the idea that he can behave any way short of rape and so long as he isn't the one who actually penetrated her, then he's a good kid who has gotten a bad rap. The whole next section is poor Cody Saltsman, people have a low opinion of him now, and what's going to happen to his scholarship? How about…

It's only tangentially related, but maybe part of Stubenville's problems come from school administrators who say things like "they put a lot more time into school; maybe not academically."

"The mother of one football player later asked me, 'If we were such terrible, football-obsessed people, why would we have clapped?'"

We already know who the next Bond is. Nice try, Jezebel.

Two words: Idris Elba. That is all.

One of the Jackson girls? It's JANET (Ms. Jackson if you're nasty).

Many people don't have home internet or cable, their phone IS their internet access. Smart phones are way cheaper than cable bundles. If your boss or co workers can't get in touch with you to pick up shifts it's a huge problem if you work retail.

Since you are a person who has had the same steady job for over a decade, you have little to nothing in common with most of the non-unionized working poor in North America. Your experience is not really relevant when discussing the realities of trying to find and keep employment in this market. Sorry to be harsh about…

Have you tried to apply for a job recently, or worked at a job where you might be required to cover someone's shift? For a lot of people, cell phones are necessary because our employers or potential employers say they're necessary.
